A Study on Delay in Discharge Process, in One of Multispeciality Hospital in ...ijtsrd
Discharge delays are one of those problems that spoil the overall pleasant experience inside the hospital. The study was conducted to identify the reasons and determinants of discharge delay in acute patients care. Delayed discharge is usually associated with a patient's medical conditions, delayed health care or medical advice, delayed diagnostic services, and delayed related health services. This paper deals with the discharge delay of inpatients in a selected hospital. An annexure was prepared to see the time taken by patients from the time of discharge till they actually leave the hospital premises. The outcome that is expected from this study was to identify the reasons for the delay of discharge and to come up with suggestions to reduce them. K. Revathi | Mrs. U. Suji "A Study on Delay in Discharge Process, in One of Multispeciality Hospital in Tanjore" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-4 | Issue-4 , June 2020, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd30919.pdf Paper Url :https://www.ijtsrd.com/management/other/30919/a-study-on-delay-in-discharge-process-in-one-of-multispeciality-hospital-in-tanjore/k-revathi

This document discusses the role and responsibilities of front desk executives in a hospital setting. It emphasizes the importance of professionalism, promptness, courtesy, and teamwork. Specific guidelines are provided for each area, including maintaining a positive attitude, being organized, greeting callers appropriately, and treating all patients and visitors with respect. The front desk is described as the first point of contact and image of the hospital, so front desk executives must provide extraordinary customer service and address any complaints to ensure patient satisfaction.
Why is this essential? It springs from the eternal truth that the more you know your patients, the better you can respond to their current needs and predict what their future needs may be as well. The Health Care sector is now opting for Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in its daily application. CRM Health Care consists of a wide array of software products that help healthcare organizations to maintain excellent relationships with their clients. CRM enables the health care industry to get essential customer information and use it as efficiently as possible. CRM thus enables the health care sector to improve patient health, increase patient loyalty and patient retention and add new services as well. The CRM Health Care Services include strategic planning, communication services, consulting services, CRM for physicians, Campaign management, Database construction, predictive segmentation, and communications strategies.

The document discusses the benefits of green or sustainable hospital design. Green hospitals aim to conserve natural resources through energy and water savings of 20-50% while also improving patient and staff comfort. Design elements like increased natural lighting, indoor plant life, and non-toxic materials enhance air quality and health. Studies show patients recover faster in environments with views of nature. Case studies demonstrate that green hospitals achieve tangible cost savings as well as intangible benefits like reduced sick building syndrome and more productive patient healing.
1) Hospitals are shifting from mass marketing to targeted direct marketing using customer databases to improve patient acquisition, retention, and win-back.
2) Healthcare marketing goals are similar to consumer companies, focusing on getting more patients, retaining current patients, and regaining lost patients.
3) CRM testing for hospitals showed database marketing can cut marketing costs by over 75% while increasing profitability for existing patients and driving more prospects to their facilities.
Patient Experience Defined. Patient experience encompasses the range of interactions that patients have with the health care system, including their care from health plans, and from doctors, nurses, and staff in hospitals, physician practices, and other health care facilities.

How to Engage Physicians in Quality/Safety Improvement Using MetricsWellbe
The unsustainable rising cost of medical care is creating financial pressures that will critically alter the way that health care is both paid for and delivered. Limited resources dictate that we become more efficient at providing high quality care. In an effort to provide financial incentive for delivering quality care the Federal government instituted Value Based Purchasing (VBP) and Bundled Payments. In order to maximize reimbursement under these programs, providers of health care must follow to the basic tenants of the quality principles.

Patient satisfaction surveys should focus on meaningful informationCare Analytics
The document discusses the importance of patient satisfaction surveys focusing on meaningful information. It recommends that surveys should be short, with 10-15 sections taking 5-10 minutes to complete, to encourage participation. While covering key areas, surveys should also leave room for general comments. Administering surveys daily and regularly tabulating data prevents bias in patient selection. A meaningful survey obtains information on communication, staff knowledge, attitude, physician style, procedure information, willingness to refer, and overall experience.

A dissertation report on analysis of patient satisfaction max polyclinic by ...Mohammed Yaser Hussain
Hospitals are increasingly becoming sensitive to the needs of the patients as will the community. It is no longer the sellers [providers] market. Except for the totally free service provided by the Government run hospitals and a few hospitals run by the civic hospitals.
According to Dona Bedian
“Patient satisfaction may be considered to be one of the desired outcomes of care, even on element of health status itself” and that “information about patient satisfaction should be as indispensable to assessment of quality as to the design and management of health care system.
During the recent years the use of patient satisfaction surveys has increased in health care industry due in part to the belief that perception of quality is an important factor in demand for services and that survey result may have significant effect on provider behaviour. According to Ware “patient satisfaction is a determinant of a healthcare provider or system. Use of services complaints and malpractice suits”.
Use of patient satisfaction survey as a tool for quality improvement has become extensive in almost all western countries. Most hospital have a system of obtaining routine feedback from all the discharge patients. The quality improvement task force of the joint commission of accreditation of the health care organization in USA is also encouraging hospitals to mandate surveys are conducted in private hospitals.
Patient Satisfaction
Patient Satisfaction Today
• Has become an important buzzword in health
care.
• Patients have access to hospital “report card”
patient satisfaction and quality scores.
– Ex: Hospital Compare
• Hospital placing high priority for patient
satisfaction due to scores being tied to
reimbursement rates.
Patient Satisfaction Today
• Patients are better informed.
• Patients want to understand their medical
care and be a part of the decision-making
process.
• Health care is featured almost daily in the
media, increasing patient expectations of the
care provided.
How is Patient Satisfaction Measured?
• Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers
and Systems (HCAHPS) Survey.
• Standardized survey to gather and compare data across
the nation.
• 27 questions based on:
– Physician/Nurse/Staff Communication
– Hospital Environment
– Pain Management
– Overall rating
– Recommendation of Hospital
• Conducted through mail and/or telephone.
• Conducted after patient discharge.
Sample HCAHPS Questionnaire
• During this hospital stay, how often did nurses treat you with courtesy and
respect?
1. Never 2. Sometimes 3. Usually 4. Always 5. Non Applicable
• During this hospital stay, how often did doctors treat you with courtesy
and respect?
1. Never 2. Sometimes 3. Usually 4. Always 5. Non Applicable
• During this hospital stay, how often was the area around your room quiet at night?
1. Never 2. Sometimes 3. Usually 4. Always 5. Non Applicable
• Would you recommend this hospital to your family and friends?
1. Definitely No 2. Probably No 3. Probably Yes 4. Definitely Yes
• Using any number from 0–10, where 0 is worst hospital possible and 10 is
the best hospital possible, what number would you use to rate this
hospital?

Quality assurance in community health nursing aims to ensure high quality care at primary care settings like PHCs and CHCs. It involves setting standards, monitoring processes and outcomes, and implementing improvements. Nursing audit is used to evaluate care quality by comparing actual practice to written standards, examining findings, and taking corrective actions. Standards help provide guidelines for performance, evaluate care quality, and improve documentation. Adherence to standards like the Indian Public Health Standards helps strengthen primary care services.
1) Quality assurance in nursing aims to ensure effective and safe patient care through setting standards, monitoring performance, and improving care.
2) It involves defining quality, establishing a quality assurance cycle to identify issues and implement changes, and using techniques like audits and appraisals.
3) Ensuring quality faces challenges from issues like nursing shortages, evolving health needs, and expanding medical knowledge that require continuous adaptation.
Nursing audit is a systematic review of nursing care to evaluate quality and ensure standards are met. It compares actual nursing practices to agreed upon standards through analysis of patient records. The goals of nursing audit include improving patient care, identifying areas for improvement, and justifying costs. The audit process involves developing criteria, collecting data, comparing to criteria, and implementing changes. Advantages include quality assurance and reducing errors. Disadvantages include being time-consuming and only evaluating documentation, not actual care.
